accurate
★★★
🇺🇸 /ˈækjɚʌt/
accurate 是形容词,表示“准确的、精确的”,也可指做事细致严谨;最常用的是描述信息、结果或测量与事实相符。
💡 记忆钩子
把 accurate 想成一把校准过的尺子:它量出来的结果和事实贴合,就是“准确的”;如果偏差只在可接受范围内,仍然可以说是 accurate;再往前延伸,按这把尺子仔细操作,也有“严谨、精确完成”的旧义。
📝 学习建议
- 不要把 accurate 只理解成“正确”;它特别强调结果、信息或测量与真实情况的吻合程度。
- 先掌握“准确的”这一核心义,再注意它也能修饰预测、描述和统计结果,表示“说得准、预测得准”。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 准确的;精确的📖 指信息、答案、计算结果或测量结果与事实相符,没有实质性错误,就像校准好的尺子量得很准。💡 常用搭配是“accurate information/data/calculation/measurement”或“an accurate answer”。说某人提供的信息准确时,可用“be accurate”;不要把它和只表示“符合规则或道德上正确”的 right 完全混用。The report provides accurate information about the accident.这份报告提供了关于这起事故的准确信息。The calculator gave an accurate result.计算器给出了准确的结果。
-
common 偏差很小的;说得准的📖 强调结果不一定绝对完美,但与真实情况非常接近,偏差在可以接受的范围内;因此预测、描述或估计也可以是 accurate。💡 常见结构是“an accurate prediction/estimate/description”以及“be accurate about + 内容”。它表示实际结果后来证明很接近,不等于预测必然成真;谈天气、数据或估计时都很自然。Her estimate of the repair cost was surprisingly accurate.她对维修费用的估计准确得出人意料。
-
rare 细致严谨的(过时)📖 这是较早且现已过时的用法,强调做事很仔细、执行得很精确;可以看作“把每一步都按准尺子做好”的旧义。💡 现代英语中通常不用它来表示一般的“细心”,这个义项主要会在历史文本或仿古语境中出现。现代表达“细心”更常用 careful、meticulous 等词,不要主动把 accurate 用作它们的普通替代词。obsolete
